Please Help MH V DWP LEAP PAYMENT and IR ESA

Please could you help. In 2021 or so I was awarded 12,800 pounds as a result of the Leap review
following MH v DWP. I have always been worried to touch this money and still have it in my account.

I am now desperately worried because I cannot find a definitive answer that this payment is disregarded capital in relation to IR ESA. I have seen answer after answer saying it is but when you look at the ESA Regs it doesn't mention it.

Please can anyone put my mind at rest once and for all that when I have the managed migration (A) I won't discover that win fact I have been overpaid IR ESA because of this LEAP payment and ( it will be disregarded as part of transitional protection as I keep reading.

Thank you guys so much and Its not my real name btw.

Hi David, Im still confused i'm afraid. Can you direct me to where it says a "PIP' Lump sum due to an error of law does not affect the level of IR ESA you are entitled to.
I followed your kind Link David but cannot see where the judgements confirm
this issue?

Sorry if I am being slow.

Thank you David, so the leap payment would not have affected my IR ESAs entitlement amount i.e it would be disregarded just as it is for UC as long as claim is unbroken throughout?

Its the IR ESA that worries me, whether that rate I have been getting would have been affected i.e if I may have been overpaid due to leap review award, thank you
